Man uses hypnosis to recall start of attack

A witness has told a murder trial he went for hypnosis to try to remember how a fatal assault began in his home.

However, Colm Campbell says he still cannot remember what “kicked off” an assault by 34-year-old Gary Walsh on their 62-year-old friend, Cathal Sweeney.

Mr Walsh, with an address at The Watercourse, Orwell Park, Templeogue, Dublin, is accused of murdering Mr Sweeney on February 8, 2014.
